This is for any of that generation that are looking for the Kingdom with their own observations, but desernes not the signs of the coming Son of Man. And especially for them that meet to worship in the old Mass in Aldermanburic.  
Darkness hath covered the earth, and gross darkness the people, so you cannot see nor perceive his workin●… that is come to overturn the proud, and confound the wise and though your ears be not bored to be●… his voice, nor your eyes opened to see the signs that have been in the midst of you, but are despising and wandrin●…●…ut of the fear, out of the dread of the living God whom we serve, and know to be angry with the wicked every day, and your offerings stink before him, and your prayers are an abomination unto him, whose flight shall come upon you in the Winter, and on the Sabaoth day: A horrible tempest is round about him, and a devouring fire goes before him, who will plead with all the earth in righteousness, and will tear in pieces those that forget him: are not you without the remembrance of him? Who have despised his Messengers evilly entreated, and cast in●… son, him who in obedience to the maker of heaven, and earth, was sent among you, as a sign unto you, of your poor, naked, lean, starved souls, of your filthy unclean cover and righteousness and the dung of your solemn assemblies which as excrements hath an ill savour, and as a menstrus clo●th, before him who is just, and will not acquit the guilty: for the woe is gone forth even against all that are covered, and not with my Spirit, saith the Lord, which spirit reproves you of your sin, of your righteousness, and your judgements, which are all out of the truth, false and wicked, and you not believing, nor obeying that which reproves you wax worse and worse, speaking evil of things you know not, calling good, evil, and evil, good, c●…ndemning Gods works justifying your own works, punishing the innocent and acquitting the guilty: is not this your state? That are in the practices of pride, wantonness, covetousness, licentious, feasting, rioting, and sporting, and then in your vain minds, and words, in which you can do nothing else but sin, you say it is sin and wickedness, for any to appear before you without clothing, naked as they were brought into the world, but where will you prove that such have broken any Law of God: but you that are in the imaginations, which are vain and grieve the Lord God ●… fully say that it is wickedness to work on the first day of the week; though it be written six days shalt thou wo●… yet are not you ashamed to persecute and cast in prison, those that love the commands of God, and for the perf●…mance thereof are sufferers by your unrighteous Laws, for as ever it was so it is they t●at slay the holy one and the●… break the commands of God, and are zealous for the traditions of men, O ye Sellers and Buyers of the Scriptur●… would not you have judged Isaiah if he should have gone three years naked in your City, as you may read h●… Isaiah the 20. the 2. and the 3. verse. And would not this generation have accounted Ezekiel, if they had ●… in his days as mad as the Quakers, if they had seen him bake his bread with dung, and shave his head ●… beard, and burn part of the hair, and throw part in the wind, as is written in the 4. chap. of Ezekiel the 12. and the 15. Ezekiel the 5. 6. 3. and 4. verses. Surely the Scriptures wherein you trust doth condemn you, and shall one pay witness against you, and then in vain may you cry for Hills, and Mountains to fall, and hid you from the presence of the lamb, whose coming is at hand, who is this day deviding the sheep from the Goats and gathering his elect into the arm of his power the defence of the righteous, and will break to pieces all the ungodly, which have a name to live but are dead: but the Trumpet is sounded, and the Alarm is heard, and the dead shall arise and come to judgement before the Lamb: where will you hid who hate to be reform and professing will not cover you, Christ's, nor the Apostles words, will not save you: all the workers of iniquity must departed, the lake is prepared, the Kingdom of darkness is fitted for all that hate the light, and when you are stripped, and set naked, all your glory stained, haughtynesse debased, then shall you know that it was in the long-suffering, and everlasting mercy of God, that you have been visited, and warned by dreadful words, and signs, that you might have seized from provoking him, that we know assuredly can deliver from all your cruel oppressing, and whether he will do it sudingly or no, we are not careful: for we have his presence who makes rich in want, and giveth peace and joy in all our sufferings, yea, that passes your understanding, and the assured hope of our reward, is sure, and steadfast, fixed in God whose works are wrought, in, and by them, who into his will are gathered, out of man's will which cannot work God's righteousness: but this is a mystery to you who are establishing your own righteousness, which will sudingly, and horribly come to an end, for our salvation is nigh, and our deliverance near and in what appearance soever we are sent unto you, our testimony is true, for it is against all unrighteouss ●… practices, and worships, which God is casting down, even he that is come to finish sin, and to put an end to t●… gression, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and his power, and kingdom which shall never have ●… felt and known, among the despised Quakers, and this is from one of them that long and much followed, ●… places you call your Churches, and them you call your teachers, and never left them till I saw God was de●… from them: for while Joseph was in Egypt, there was some food for jacob's seed, but he not there the seed ●… pressed, for the deliverance of which the Lord is risen, and the oppressors shall be tormented, and thou●… believe not, yet when he that will come, shall come to take vengeance on you for their wrongs, who have a●… suffer for the testimony of a pure conscience, you shall confess unto him whose ways are righteous, and whose judgements are past finding out, by the disobedient, but shall be felt by the dispises thereof; that loves darkness ●… then light, and of this you have been warned, and now are by me that pittyes all your souls that lies in Ca●… under the bondage of Corruption.
